Every once in a while, celebrities will do something that cements their existence as mere oxygen-breathing mortals. You know, face-plant on the street, have a major wardrobe malfunction, or wear something that's actually shoppable for a change, instead of straight-off-the-runway digs that non-famous fashionistas can only dream of wearing someday. And basically anything that a … [Read more...]

In case you haven't heard, two of the most talented, sexiest sisters in the world (don't you just hate them?) have teamed up to create an ultra-sultry line of lingerie. Makes total sense, right? Penélope Cruz and her dancer sister Mónica Cruz, who both recently gave birth earlier this year, have joined forces with Agent Provocateur to create their own diffusion line, titled … [Read more...]

Marc Jacobs is no stranger to the beauty industry – I've collected my share of samples for fragrances like Daisy, Lola, Dot, and beyond – but until now, the designer has yet to expand his "palette" to include color cosmetics. Set to launch exclusively at Sephora on August 9th, his first foray into makeup is gearing up to hit shelves, and I couldn't be more excited! The … [Read more...]

If you were to brainstorm a list of the least glamorous things ever, chances are that mud would rank pretty high up at the top. But what if something as un-glamorous as mud was actually the key to the most fabulous at-home facial of your life? GlamGlow's Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask includes natural ingredients like French sea clay, volcanic pumice rock, and green tea … [Read more...]

Kimono Jackets: The Ultimate Lightweight Summer Layer!
No matter how hot it gets outside (and here in San Francisco, that's hardly very hot at all), I'm all about easy, effortless layers. Since I practically live in jeans, tanks, blouses, and other easy-to-wear basics, I pretty much rely on statement-making layers to make or break an outfit and switch things up. For summer, … [Read more...]

Aside from the fact that bikini season is right around the corner, midriff-baring styles are having a serious comeback.... on and off the beach! From crop tops to midriff cutouts, modern tummy-highlighting styles have gotten a little more "sly" and sophisticated since Britney Spears' belly-baring heyday. Side cutouts add a sexy yet tasteful touch to an otherwise soft-and-pretty … [Read more...]

When I daydream about the sunny summer days ahead, I pretty much only picture cloudless skies, hot (but not quite sweltering) weather, the occasional cool breeze, poolside margaritas... you know, the good stuff! But let's face it – real summer isn't always hot, sunny, cloudless, and jacket-free. It's a good idea to be realistic about your summer expectations and stock up on at … [Read more...]

Call me unadventurous, but I've always been the most comfortable in jeans and a tee – especially in the summer. So while I don't often switch things up with flirty skirts or sundresses (unless it's a special occasion), come summertime I always make a beeline to the shoe department to take advantage of the season's new sandals to update my casual warm-weather wardrobe. This … [Read more...]

Spring has sprung! ...Which – in terms of fashion trends – has historically meant the reign of brighter-than-bright neons, maxi dresses galore, espadrilles of varying heights, and of course, plenty of colorblocking. But does colorblocking by definition actually need to be colorful? Not according to the latest spring trend!
Neutral colorblocking is big for the season ahead, … [Read more...]

A close friend of mine, who is nearly six feet tall and practically lives in heels, recently sprained her ankle. Not only has this ruined her daily running regimen and made getting around in busy San Francisco extremely difficult, but most importantly, it's totally salted her shoe game. She has reluctantly resorted to wearing flats, but with her birthday coming up, she was … [Read more...]
